Oscar Health is teaming up with two Florida
health systems to launch a co-branded Medicare Advantage plan for 2021.
The insurance startup, Holy Cross Health and
Memorial Healthcare System will offer the plan to Broward
County, Florida residents when Medicare open enrollment begins in October,
pending regulatory approvals.
The plan will unite Oscar's suite of digital
care tools with the two hospital system's provider networks.
“We’re thrilled to be working with the Holy
Cross Health and Memorial Healthcare System to bring greater, more convenient
care to South Florida residents,” said Oscar CEO Mario Schlosser in a
statement. “With Oscar’s technology and our aligned dedication to providing an
exceptional experience for Medicare beneficiaries, the Oscar + Holy Cross +
Memorial Medicare Advantage plan offers our members a more personal care
experience that better meets the unique needs of patients.”
Oscar entered the Medicare Advantage market
for the first time in the 2020 plan year, launching coverage in Houston and its home base of New
York. This is also not Oscar's first foray into co-branded
plans; it launched a plan targeting small businesses in partnership with
Cigna.
Members will have more convenient access to
Holy Cross and Memorial Healthcare System's through easy appointment scheduling
and virtual visits with specialists. In addition, the plan will include Oscar's
connected care team and $0 virtual urgent care.
“Our partnership with Oscar is a game changer
for Medicare recipients in Broward County. Plan members will be able to take
advantage of the best care in a way that’s timely, convenient and affordable,”
said Holy Cross Health President and CEO Mark Doyle in a statement.
